It has finally been decided that Russia will host the 2018 World Cup! Not only did they beat England to the sword, but it once again gives a country like South Africa the chance to prove their worth on the world stage 🙂 Now I am not talking about their ability to play football, I am referring to their ability to host an event of this magnitude!
I was hoping it would go to England deep down inside, but hey, I guess in the bigger scheme of things it was the right decision. It is only fair to level the playing field and FIFA have done that by granting Russia the opportunity to host the 2018 World Cup. I was actually more shocked at the news that Qatar would be the venue for 2022…Interesting isn’t it? Let me hear your thoughts and opinions about this awesome decision! Well done mother Russia, I will be seeing you and your super models in 2018, after I am done with Brazil in 2014 😉
Shame about England not getting 2018. I just think FIFA and UEFA think they’re too big for their boots. Blame the Premier League.
FIFA’s aim was to take the World Cup to the rest of the world, not just the nations where football has already become highly established! From my point of view I think it is a good thing, imagine they never took the step and allowed and African country to host WC 2010?
